#710 closed task (wontfix)

Python module name should be more explicit

Reported by: dackze+trac@… Owned by: Matt Good
Priority: normal Component: AccountManagerPlugin

Cc: Trac Release: 0.9

Description

Right now, the plugin's module name is "acct_mgr". It would make more sense for it to be named something like "tracaccountmanager", especially when installed into site-packages. It wouldn't be ambiguous and there probably wouldn't be any chance for it to conflict with other potential packages.

That, and PEP 8 says module names shouldn't contain underscores.

Installing into site-packages will still put it in "TracAccountManager-version.egg", so it should be pretty clear. I'm not in a terrible rush to do this, since I've seen no real problems from the name, and changing it would break the config for current users.

I don't find it intuitive either.

I created a simple patch to rename the acct_mgr module to accountmanager. acct_mgr is left mapped to the accountmanager directory (see the Distutils package-dir specification).

Alternatively, without having to rely on Distutils magic, and retaining the ability to log a depreciation notice when acct_mgr is used...

class acct_mgr(Component):
    def __getattr__(self, attr):
        self.log.warning('Plugin \'acct_mgr\' was renamed to \'accountmanager\' and is subject to later removal.')
        return getattr(acountmanager, attr)

...added as an entry-point to plugins.trac.

I'm closing this as won't fix because most of account manager will be merged into core. Hopefully for 0.12, but most likely for 0.13. Doesn't make sense to jump through hoops for what will eventually become a non-issue.
